Hi again doctors :). I am officially going to the USA for my surgery- planning for August! I am having some trouble understanding the certification comparisons of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons vs. the American Board of Plastic Surgery Inc.? I want to make sure that whoever does my surgery is medically trained as a plastic surgeon with extensive experience in Breast Augmentation w lift and a BBL (including lipo of the arms/armpit). Thank you again doctors :).
